In the meantime, his grandson Francesco is in charge of the winery and is continuing the family tradition. The estate's wines are aged for a long time in barrels and are concentrated and full-bodied, without becoming lush. A creaminess in the form of an elegant richness spreads across the palate. Multi-layered fruit components, which arise from the appassimento method and persist in the long finish, are significant for the wines of the Azienda Agricola, which lies hidden in the mountains near Negrar. The wines are coveted all over the world and are represented on every well-selected wine list.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"guiseppe-quintarelli-boanco-secco-igp-18-20","title":"Giuseppe Quintarelli - Bianco Secco IGP 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bianco Secco is an elegant white wine cuvée made from several grape varieties such as the local Garganega and Trebbiano, but also Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Riesling.

The grapes originate from a single site surrounding the vineyard of the same name, Ca' del Merlo, and reflect the uncompromising signature of the Quintarelli family. Although the wine is classified as a Veneto IGT, it ranks among the most fascinating red wines in Northern Italy in terms of quality and has long enjoyed cult status among enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe cuvée consists predominantly of the traditional Valpolicella grape varieties Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, supplemented by small portions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Sangiovese. What is special, however, is the vinification: about half of the grapes are processed immediately after harvest, while the other half are dried for about two months using the appassimento method. After spontaneous fermentation, both batches are combined and subsequently fermented on the skins of the Amarone following the traditional ripasso method. This gives the wine additional depth, structure, and aromatic complexity without losing the freshness and drinkability of a classic Valpolicella. The Rosso Ca' del Merlo then matures for about seven years in large Slavonian oak barrels before it is released for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the glass, the Rosso Ca' del Merlo presents itself as powerful yet remarkably precise. Ripe black cherries, sour cherries, plums, licorice, tobacco, dried herbs, balsamic notes, and fine spices combine with mineral nuances and an extraordinary freshness. Silky tannins, lively acidity, and a long, elegant finish give the wine a balance that is typical of Giuseppe Quintarelli. Despite its concentration, it never feels heavy; instead, it possesses an impressive lightness and an aging potential of several decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Giuseppe Quintarelli Rosso Ca' del Merlo is far more than a ripasso or a classic Veneto red wine.
